CECC AND MIL-CERTIFIED TOGGLE SWITCHES AND PUSHBUTTONS’ KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

To withstand harsh environments that can easily damage human machine interfaces (HMIs), our 12000×778 series military toggle switches and 13000×778 series pushbuttons (alternate & momentary) have been designed to offer: 

Arrows to showcase the slimline design of HMI when little space is required.

Compactness

Ideal for integration into limited spaces such as handheld controls and dashboards

Sealing

These series are rated IP68 (12000×778) and IP67 (13000×778)

Customization

From poles, lugs, actuator in the 13000×778 series to lever locking and accessories (sealing boots, switch guards) in the 12000×778 series

The customization in these series allows for a flexible integration into military applications and can adapted to the ever-changing international requirements and evolving standards. This enhances their durability through integration into new commands and improves operational efficiency, ensuring a long service life for extended missions. These switches are built to reliably withstand shocks, vibrations, and temperature variations, ensuring increased longevity and performance even in the most rigorous conditions encountered in the field. What steps can we take to ensure that these products comply with the military sector, a sector where HMI solutions are constantly challenged? 

CECC AND MIL SPEC: THE IMPORTANCE OF MILITARY CERTIFICATIONS

CECC and MIL-certifications are important in ensuring product reliability and meeting military standards. It serves as clear evidence that products have undergone thorough testing and evaluation to ensure they meet the strict requirements set by the European Committee for Coordination of Standardization in Electrotechnics and Electronics (CECC) and the U.S. Department of Defense’s military specifications. CECC certification guarantees alignment with top European standards for quality and performance, while MIL certification ensures suitability for use in harsh military conditions.  

OUR 12000X778 SERIES IS GOVERNED BY STANDARDS:

  • CECC 96201-005 
  • CECC96201-008 
  • MIL-DTL-3950 
  • MIL-DTL-83731 

13000×778 pushbuttons comply with standard CECC 96401-001. 
 
These certifications guarantee the reliability of the products and thus their suitability for integration into military applications to ensure the safety of operators and the success of the mission. 

MIL-GRADE TOGGLES AND PUSHBUTTONS FOR MILITARY APPLICATIONS

Although military applications are varied, they all have one thing in common: their human-machine interfaces must be foolproof!  

  • Remote weapon stations  
  • Hand-held controls  
  • Vehicle dashboards  
  • Combat vehicles
